I had the opportunity to attend a retreat sponsored by this organization. It was an amazing experience to share with people young and old and yet so in love with calling on Christ for love. The presenters were so professional and opened up their hearts to all of us. I highly recommend this organization. They truly care for our hearts and our souls.

Was a beautiful day for a retreat, both outside & inside. Anne & Micky were wonderful leaders. I was amazed at how many people in this world have broken hearts. However, being a fan of the TX series THE CHOSEN, Bones will still break, and hearts will still break but in the end the Good Lord still loves us.

I saw a facebook post about spiritual direction from the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation. I had been looking for a director on-and-off for 15 years. I submitted my request to be contacted on the website.
I was surprised to see that I had an email the next day, and I had my first Zoom meeting with Fr. Matthew shortly afterward. The pace of our visit was comfortable, each of us making introductions. Fr. Matthew explained how St. Raymond's life connected to my personal ministry, which was a great consolation to me. Anne has also stayed in contact with me, being sure that I was scheduled, and that all went well. I look forward to my next meeting with Fr. Matthew and learning how I can do God's will in my life. |

The Divorce Retreat was well-organized with thought-provoking talks by Anne, Mickey, Fr. Nick and Fr. Carl. There was time for personal reflection as well as one-on-one conversations with Anne, Mickey, as well as the other attendees and time for Confession. The program concluded with Mass. I found the day very beneficial.

Ms. Anne DeSantis, the Executive Director of this Foundation, was so amazing and kind and helped me set up a phone appointment with Father Matthew Phelan. I had a wonderful phone appointment with Father Phelan. We had a great conversation and he helped me so much. I highly recommend this giving and caring service. They are such kind people. I am so grateful that there are people like this in the world. Thank you and God bless you all! 🙏🙏

I found the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation through the Diocese of Columbus - as a great resource for priestly counsel and spiritual direction. I was given the option to meet with a priest online or in-person and I chose in-person.
From the moment of scheduling, Anne was incredibly helpful, warm and quick to get me an appointment! I met with Father Joseph, who patiently listened to my life story and helped me reframe my thinking and provide comfort around motherhood and making connections in the parish. What I loved most about Father was that he was not in a rush. He actually wanted to hear about my background and life journey! It was a blessing to meet with him and I am thankful to this ministry for the resource for such a valuable service. I loved my meeting with Father and I am so thankful for Anne for making it happen! |

I reached out to the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation for spiritual guidance and was so happily surprised at how quickly my message was answered. I had the privilege to speak with Anne, the Executive Director, and she was so attentive and gave me great insight. I truly recommend that anyone who is looking for spiritual direction contact the foundation.

My question was answered with the respect, kindness and attention one would expect from true Christians. God bless you.

Father Justin was wonderful in digging deep into the questions I had regarding Catholicism. He was very non-judgmental and took the time to thoroughly address each of my questions both from a practical standpoint and a spiritual one. Any belief he expressed he then was able to provide scripture to support, and overall created a very pleasant environment for educating myself.

Anne DeSantis and Father Justin were more than helpful. Even with my hectic schedule, they took the time to reach out to me and make sure they were assisting me in any way they could. If you're going through a tough time or just need someone to speak with, don't hesitate to reach out.

I recently had the opportunity to connect with the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation, and I can't express enough how grateful I am for their support. Father Matthew's guidance was truly uplifting and comforting, leaving me with a sense of peace after our conversation. The foundation's dedication to providing valuable assistance during challenging times is commendable. Thank you, St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation, for your kindness and invaluable support.
God Bless! + + + |

I had the privilege of speaking to Father Justin about a difficult situation my family is going through, and he was very kind, straightforward, and helpful. Director Anne was very attentive and caring. It is heartwarming to know that an organization like St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation exists. I would not hesitate to reach out to them again. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

I found St. Raymond by chance online, and I felt prompted to reach out by grace during a spiritual crisis. My trouble involved a handful of dimensions. I received such prompt help from Fr. Freeman, and when I say received, I mean he excelled in helping identify and placate the diverse spikes of my problem. Truly, we people of God have a gift in this religious community, and I am witnessing that St. Raymond's extends themselves without any hesitation to help, and they see it through. Ann is warm, helpful, and responds very promptly. One can feel the genuine human care as she helps with connections and appointments. Please, never let yourself sit there and feel troubled when God has loving servants that excel in helping one another without hesitation, without anything to lose. Reach out! God Bless!

Our pastor was on a leave of absence. Father Ken stepped in and talked with me at great length to give me the spiritual guidance and loving support I was searching for. He also followed up with an email full of helpful resources so that I am able to continue my Journey through this difficult season. Truly a deeply spiritual and anointed group of people doing God's great work. I highly recommend with all my heart.

I can heartily recommend St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation to any person seeking to dialogue with caring staff and Priests. I wrote in with a need for talking things over with a Priest and a day later I received a call from Father Justin. He listened and offered his advice which I ended up taking and he provided a way through a situation that had previously felt impassable. I’m grateful to both Anne and Father Justin for the support they so freely and generously offered. Many Thanks and may God Bless You!

While trying to get an answer to a Catholic Mass procedural question and sifting through a couple of easy accessible and way less credible sites, that were full of negativity, and uninformed aggressive bloggers, I finally stumbled onto the St. Raymond Nonnatus site. I got a reply and even a follow-up phone call with a more precise explanation that made my day and the situation that I was trying to navigate that day and with the information she procured for me I was able to address a situation at my own parish, that will be helpful going forward in the future as well. A BIG thumbs-up to Anne and all the people associated with this foundation.

So, I posted a prayer request to this foundation after finding them through a Google search. And, wow, I got such a wonderful, kind, and very caring response to my request. They are so very nice. I am very impressed with their kindness and compassion over my request. I am so happy I came across them. Many blessings to them and I them for their prayers for me.

The response was unbelievably fast and very supportive. Please do not hesitate in reaching out to this group for help with questions and answers. They are unbelievably amazing. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!!

A big thank you Anne for giving this opportunity to connect with Fr Justin; it was a great call and a very encouraging one; I was wanting to talk to a priest in specific and get a sense of how I can reassure my life and get back on track.
A big thank you to Fr. Justin who has helped me and been very patiently hearing me out; giving me the most needed guidance not just spiritually but also a path to counter the situations where life takes us off path. Dear Anne God bless you for the beautiful ministry that you are directing; may this foundation be a guiding star to many more souls. |

The Foundation offers Christ-centered resources to help buildup the Domestic Church, i.e., the family & to offer hope while journeying with our brothers & sisters in Christ who are experiencing the effects of separation or divorce. We thank God for His mercy reaching out through The Foundation!

The Family Faith Weekend in Le Roy, NY took place this past weekend and was organized with the leadership of the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation for Freedom, Family, and Faith. I was invited to attend as a representative for The Station of the Cross Catholic Radio Network. Anne, the director of the St. Raymond Nonnatus Foundation, did a fantastic job organizing, promoting, and overseeing the event. She made sure that the faith talks, activities, and concert were the best that they could be! It certainly was an event enjoyed by all that attended! The whole weekend was about family and faith, two of the most important and necessary things in this world!
